Cocarrois (almost)

This is a teaser post. Tomorrow I will make a better one, with a new drawing, and I´ll write down the recipe for cocarrois, those beautiful little Majorcan vegetable pasties.What you see now is a page from my 1994 cooking sketchbook. Anyone who doesn´t want to wait can click on the image to make it larger, and brave the Spanish language, my not-so-decipherable writing, and the baffling lack of instructions.Even though tomorrow is a national holiday, I´ll be up early, when the military parade planes wake me as they zoom overhead, so it won´t be long until the proper recipe is up. And when it is, you´ll love me all the more.

I have 2 little books of recipes like this (except that my drawings are, of course, inferior) and these days I have a little qualm whenever I think of them.

Since I began my blog, I seldom bother to add new favorites to the book. I suppose the blog will keep a record too, but it is a bit sad that the last book is more or less in abeyance. Do you still add to yours?

Oh, and I have just read the recipe in English and plan to make these ASAP. they sound just my sort of thing. Lovely.
